Answer:

x=7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Original dimensions

Length=11 meters

Width=5 meters

Each dimension reduced by x meters

L=11-x

W=5-x

Length/width=ratio of length/ratio of width

11-x/5-x = 8/3

Cross product

(11-x)3 =( 5-x)8

33-3x=40-8x

-3x+8x=40-33

5x=7

x=7/5

Check:

11-7/5=55-7/5

=48/5

5-7/5=25-7/5

=18/5

48/5÷18/5

=48/5*5/18

=240/90

=24/9

=8/3

Length: width=8:3

A counter top is 18 feet long and 3 feet wide. What is the area of the counter top in square meters? Use the conversion 1 foot =
podryga [215]

Answer:

Area of the counter top is 5.02\ m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the Counter top = 18 feet

Width of the counter top = 3 feet

We need to find the area of the counter top is square meter;

Solution:

Now we need to find the area of the counter top is square meter.

But given data is in feet so we will first convert feet into meters.

1 foot = 0.305 meter.

So 18 feet = Number of meters in 18 feet.

By Using Unitary method we get;

Number of meters in 18 feet = 18\times 0.305 = 5.49\ m

Length of the Counter top = 5.49 m

Also 3 feet = Number of meters in 3 feet.

Again Using Unitary method we get;

Number of meters in 3 feet = 3\times 0.305 = 0.915\ m

Width of the counter top = 0.915 m

Now we know that;

Area of the counter top can be calculated by multiplying Length of the counter top with width of the counter top.

framing in equation form we get;

Area of the counter top = 5.49\times 0.915 = 5.0233\ m^2

Rounding up to 2 decimals we get;

Area of the counter top =  5.02\ m^2

Hence Area of the counter top is 5.02\ m^2.

Consider best strategy to solve the problem. If 9 inches are equal to 27 feet on a map how many feet are equal to three inches
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If 9 inches equal 27 what you would do is divide in order to find how much feet would be in 1 inch. So:

9/27= 3 feet

Then to find how much feet are equal to 3 inches you just multiply that by 3. So your answer is 9 feet.

Overall the work should look like

9 inches= 27 feet

9/9 inches= 27/9 feet

1 inch = 3 feet

3 inches x 3 feet

= 9
